The document uses images from Hubble telescope and other space observations to help put life's problems into perspective. It compares the size of Earth to other planets and stars to show how small we are in the universe. It concludes with an image of Earth taken from Saturn's rings to illustrate how fragile and precious our planet is and emphasize the importance of taking care of the only home we have.

Hubble
The Hubble telescope is located outside our atmosphere and is orbiting around the Earth at 593 km above sea level with an orbital period of about 96 to 97 minutes at a speed of 28,000 km/h. Its name is in honor of astronomer Edwin Hubble, it was placed in orbit on April 24, 1990. It weighs about 11,000 kg in a cylindrical form with a 13.2 m length and a diameter of 4.2 m. This telescope can obtain images of the cosmos at an 0.1 arc second of resolution.

This is the Sombraro Galaxie also called M104 in Messiers catalog at a distance of 28 million light years. This is considered one of the best pictures Hubble took.
Then we have the Ants Nebula so called because of its shape. Located between 3000 and 6000 light years away.
Then here is the Esquimo Nebula at 5000 light years.
In fourth place the Cats Eye Nebula.
Fifth place the Hour Glass Nebula located 8000 light years away, the result of an exploding star.
In 6th place, we have a part of the Cone Nebula at 2.5 light years.
In seventh position, we find a portion of the Swan Nebula located 5,500 light years away. Described as an ocean of hydrogen with small quantities of oxygen, sulphur and other elements.
In 8th place, this beautiful image called Starry night, and also known as Light Echo.
In 9th place, two galaxies merging NGC 2207 and IC 2163 located 114 million light years away.
Tenth place, a fragment of the Trifid Nebula with many stars at 9000 light years.

Words escape us when you discover these monumental pictures of colours and light. The Eagle Nebula or M16 can be found in the Serpent contallation, and its like an open window at the centre of a starry night. At the centre, many young stars are forming, creating a wonderful spectacle of gaseous emissions.

Wonderful Blue Planet!
A.z. Appreciate your home for one moment ! Our childrens heritage!
Now you will see a picture for those moments when you feel life is overwhelming. When you think your problems are enormous and when you think there is an immense difference between the things you do and those you dont,
Its also a picture when you have moments as a human being you think you are powerful and magnificent You are Homo Sapiens, Master of Creation, at the zenith of your technological power! And you feel that with the other six billion persons we are so far we are unique in this universe.
And finally a picture for those moments when you think the world where you live is so big that it is indestructible. With its great cities, all the oceans, mountain ranges and continents Invulnerable Planet insensitive, with its size and greatness
Because, Earth has five hundred millions square kilometres of surface! Six thousand quadrillion tons of rocks!... And more than one thousand trillion tons of water!
H辿la aqu鱈, pues: Contemplate this picture for a few moments. It was taken by the Cassini-Juygens probe, in 2004, when it arrived at the rings of Saturn.
We are all in this little blue point. All our wars All our problems... All our greatness and misery. All our technology, our art, our advances All our civilizations, all our wildlife and flora... All races, religions All governments, countries and states... All our love and hate Six billion souls in constant agitation This is our planet.
If we want, we can take this picture like a lesson in humility And like a double message: On one hand , how little we are in this universe, with our problems and our differences, when we see them on this scale... But on the other side, how fragile is our planet, And the importance of taking care of this little blue point, because its the only home we have. It does make you think, no?
Think about it... Is beautiful! World Our
